## History

Allegedly originating from the North Korea as Taedong-B, there are reports suggesting that two boats of this class were delivered to Iran on 22 December 2002.

## Design

There is not much known confidently about these vessels. They are estimated to have a standard displacement of 30.4 t (29.9 long tons) and can possibly reach a top speed of 50 knots (93 km/h). From measurements, only length is known to be about 21 m (69 ft). Kajami class can carry two lightweight torpedoes of unknown type. According to Jane's Fighting Ships, the vessel is likely designed for a high-speed approach towards enemy on the surface, and then submerging for almost 3 m (9.8 ft) before using the snort mast for an attack.
